The Surgeon

Chapter 61: Finders Keepers

*Amanda's Point Of View*

I sprawled out on the bed. Levi is going to kill me. No, seriously. When he finds out he is either going to push abortion or kill me. Or just shoot my stomach. I turned on the tv watching the news. Nothing important. I checked back at my phone with a missed call from...Loki?

I was going to listen to the voicemail it was sent about an hour ago. I shrugged putting the phone to my ear when a knock came on the door. I set my phone down slowly. No one knows I am here. No one. I walked to the door that didn't have a peephole. Crusty Motel. I swallowed harshly. I had the chain-linked already so I left it as I opened the door a tiny bit.

He kicked the door open and I fell back on my ass. He grabbed me tying my arms together "Listen, princess, we are going to go for a little ride." James drug me out of the motel room throwing me into a white van. He got up front and the driver sped off. I flew forward smacking my head on the door separating us.

I grunted, "You treat all your ladies like this, Mr. Barnes?"

He scoffed "Only the ones that defy me. Now shut your mouth or ill do it for you."

I propped myself up on the bench. It was like a prison transport van. Wonder why he was so mad. I decided to push my luck because I am a bitch. "So what am I doing time for? Caroline? Levi? ....You?"

He sighed signaling the driver to pull over. He slid out fixing his jacket. He opened the back door staring at me "What did I say I was going to do if you didn't shut up?"

I made a face like I was thinking "Something about making me?"

He smirked "Good girl." He jumped in the back grabbing the tape that was secured to the wall behind me. He ripped a piece of clamping it over my mouth. He gripped my chin "You are in for quite the ride." I tried to hide my panic. I am pregnant with his brother's baby, I stole his sister, I turned Levi against him. The list goes on. I think our biggest issue is his heart. I have that too. He released my chin harshly getting back into the front. I leaned my head back. I just need to comply and wait for the right time. He's taking me to the Montana house. I know it. Tony is there, wait everyone is there! I can break out easily. I smiled to myself, this is going to be a breeze.

We arrived at an airstrip. He turned to the drive "Grab her and strap her in the far back seat," He glanced at me then back to the man "I don't want her near me."

The man nodded getting out. I tried talking under the tape it just came out mumbled. He turned to me cupping his ear "What was that? Sorry Princess I don't understand you." He smirked at me eyeing my mouth "Ripping that tape off is going to be a bitch." That was the last thing he said to me as we boarded the airplane. I decided I'm just going to kill him.

*Levi Barnes Point Of View*

I was weaving in and out of traffic as fast as I could. I got an unexpected call. I pressed answer on the steering wheel "What, I am kinda busy right now!"

"James is off his rocker. Oliver sent me a text...You knocked him out triggering an episode. He is destined to make an example out of you!"

I gripped the wheel "Loki, what is he planning." He was silent "LOKI!"

He stuttered "H-he is going to-to um, take Amanda, and....he said... "

I cut him off "Old habits die hard."

Loki sniffled "You don't think he will actually torture and kill her do... do you?"

I punched the driver side window causing it to shatter. "Levi? You ok?"

I let out a deep breath "No, Loki I am not ok." I hung up slamming the gas to the floor. I swear to god. If he so much as causes a scratch or bruise, I am going to kill him with my bare hands. She's mine. I need to get to her first. I looked at the time. I am about 30 minutes away. There weren't many cars on the road. Why she drove all the way out here is a mystery. I pulled into the parking lot staring around. It looked like a bunch of truckers just stayed here. I got out heading into the main office. The old man sat up smiling at me, soon he won't be.

"Good day sir, need a room?"

I nodded "Yes my wife checked into here tonight? She said we needed time away from the kids." I laughed.

His smile widened "Of course, let me just call the room. It's a precaution we have to take." He dialed and I walked behind the counter grabbing the phone from him putting it to my ear while slamming my hand over his mouth. His eyes got wide and his eyes trailed over my gun. He looked back up at me with wide eyes. The phone kept ringing. I looked at the machine seeing the room number. I slammed the phone down "Give me a card for room 105." He shakily dug into the drawer pulling out a key for room 105.

He handed it to me and I took off stomping my feet. That woman won't even answer the phone from the front desk? She runs away with my child and doesn't have the decency to answer any god damn phone. I stepped to the door. It was busted open...I pulled my gun before pushing the door open a little wider. I busted in looking around. The Tv was on and her phone was on the table. I made it to the bathroom as a toilet flushed. I kicked the door in to find one of his men.

He didn't even flinch instead he smiled at me. "Well, you took your time getting here." He pushed past me and I cocked my gun. He rolled his eyes "Here," He threw me a phone "He wants to talk to you."

Keeping my gun aimed at him I grabbed the phone "Bit much don't you think?"

He laughed "What do you mean brother, Isn't this what you wanted? At least now we can finally see who the better brother is. Don't you think?"

I let out a frustrated sigh "Why her though? You could have come for Caroline, Marco, me?"

He scoffed "I picked her for this exact reason. You care for her. Too bad really since she only has 24 hours left to live."

I talked through gritted teeth "You so much as fucking breath on her, you are dead."

He laughed darker this time and it sent a chill throughout my body, he was different "24 hours Levi, Come find us."

I went to say something and he hung up on me. I threw the phone yelling out and shooting the guy in the head. I leaned over him "Sorry about that, I am just uhh a little frustrated. You understand right? Oh, right you're dead." I shot him two more times out "That felt good."

I grabbed his gun and got back into my car hitting the steering wheel.

I pulled out my phone "Come on pick the fuck up."

"What do you want. Did you find her?"

"Marco, Amanda was taken by James. He is going to kill her." I hung up I needed to call an old friend.

He picked up on the first ring "Levi? It's been a while, what do you need prince of Chaos."

I smiled "You still have connections to our old military base?" 

*James Barnes Point Of View*

---Bar fight---

I saw the shift in Levi as he turned back to me. I knew whatever he saw in her changed his point of view. I tried to make Amanda pass out so I could take care of Levi but his fist connected with my head in more force than I ever experienced. It was lights out for me.

I woke up on the bar floor to the owner poking me with a mop "Yo, you can't be here. It's four am and we need to close down."

I rolled over to my stomach pushing myself up to my hands and knees. I let out a sigh "Got it."

I stood to my feet catching a glance at my face in the mirror. That fucking dick left a gash in my eyebrow. My own brother. My brother. I squinted my eyes pounding my fist on the bar top. I turned walking right out the front door. I am going to kill him for this. I am going to make them pay. After everything I have done for that worthless brother of mine, he puts a woman before ME? Not a woman in the family, a fucking random woman!

I paced pushing a phone number into my phone. Oliver rolled up in what looked like a stolen van. I rolled my eyes "Nice ride."

He shrugged "Well I needed something after being knocked out unconscious and shoved into the rubble. Who are we killing Marco or Levi?"

I chuckled nodding "Let's spice it up. Shall we?"

His eyes got wide "Are we going back to the old ways?"

I slid in with a devious smirk "Oliver, let's go find our Amanda."

He gripped the wheel, his knuckles turned white "As you wish boss."
